The road to F1

Valtteri Bottas was born on 28 August 1989 in Nastola, Finland, and began karting at the age of six after a chance visit to a local karting event. He progressed to single-seater racing in 2007, winning both the Formula Renault NEC and the Formula Renault Eurocup in 2008, then back-to-back Masters of Formula 3 titles in 2009 and 2010 with ART, and the GP3 Series championship in 2011. Rather than race in 2012, he served as a Williams test driver, completing 15 Friday practice sessions, which impressed the team enough to promote him to a full race seat for 2013 alongside Pastor Maldonado. After four seasons at Williams, he signed for Mercedes in 2017 to replace the retiring Nico Rosberg, spending five seasons there before moving to Alfa Romeo/Sauber from 2022 to 2024; in August 2025, Cadillac announced he had signed a two-year deal to join their new F1 project for 2026.
